Having just lived through the "should I fix or replace my 3B" question I'll add
a little of what I learned. Once I discovered how much it cost to repair these
diesels I started investigating re-power options. I wanted to stay with a
diesel under the hood so I checked out many alternatives.
The "smallest" Hino engine I found was called a W04C(T). It is the closest
equivalent to the 13BT, It is a really nice power plant and looks very similar
to the 13BT. Same shape and placement of accessories etc but it is MUCH bigger
and is a lot heavier. The bellhousing bolt pattern is similar but will not
match. The engine is definitly Industrial and run 800,000 km's in a 4 ton truck
before a rebuild. Pumps out 150 hp and somewhere around 350-400 ft/lbs of
torque. If you don't have a core to trade in it will cost you about $8K in
canada here to pick a bebuilt one up, and then you have to make it fit. The six
speed transmission that bolts onto it is HUGE in comparison so you would have a
lot of work ahead of you. (hey but that never stopped us before).
I also checked out options with the 3.9L Cummins 4 cyl, the GM 6.2 V8(don't do
it), and a Detroit Diesel 4-53 4cyl and the Ford 7.3L. The bottom line is I
decided what I really wanted was a reliable and economical engine with good
torque... so I rebuilt my 3B...
